Gold Helmet from the Ak-Burun Mound (4th Century BCE) -  State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg

This intricately crafted gold helmet, measuring XXXX cm in height, was unearthed from a burial mound near the city of Kerch, in a grave attributed to a high-ranking individual—likely a Scythian, Sarmatian, or Meotian leader. The helmet is believed to have been produced in a workshop of the Bosporan Kingdom, as indicated by the distinctive nine-petalled calla motif adorning its surface. This floral emblem is thought to have symbolized political authority, while also carrying funerary significance: the imagery of a flower emerging from water is interpreted as a metaphor for rebirth, reflecting beliefs concerning the afterlife and the regeneration of the deceased.
